Description

Mexican Street Corn Chicken: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure to coat evenly for maximum flavor.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Grilling: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baking: Place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
  4. Prepare the Corn Mixture: While the chicken is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the corn and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred.
  5. Mix Dressing: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the heat and add it to the dressing mixture. Stir in crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro.
  7. Serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked, transfer it to a serving plate. Top each chicken breast with a generous portion of the corn mixture.
  8. Garnish: Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
